Sol Invictus by Soge

Not a story by itself, exactly. It is a wonderful use of imagery and language. More of a look at a place where stories happen. Quite wonderful. I would use this as a great example of a story that has almost nothing of the show in it, but still feels very much a pony fanfic.
Fluttershy's Night Out by Bad Horse

This was pretty good. Not exactly what I was expecting, but still good. Writing was better than average. Basically a character study of Fluttershy. I would put this into the category of before-show stories. Felt like proper fan fiction; stuff you couldn’t put in the show, but still managing to follow the same themes and morals
Bucking All Day by Mister Friendly

Heehee. This was the best kind of silly. I love language based humor, even just this type of misunderstanding what is being said. Was a very fun read.

Cool concept. Irregular execution of that concept. Five stories in this, each one a moment from the show twisted around. First one I really liked. Second was good, but really dark. The Discord bit (#3) was just kind of bleh. Fourth was the wedding and doesn’t give any idea of the results of the alternate version at all. Last one was better, but still left a little to be desired. I’d recommend this but it could have been a lot better.
Left Behind by Gold

Simple, but sweet and well written. A good mix of shipping and adventure. The writing here was above average. Not the pacing, though that was good, but just the word choice and imagery. The immersion in this story was excellent.
As always, The Big Master Review List is here: { THE MASTER LIST }
If you know of a text-format reviewer I'm not keeping track of, please let me know and I'll see if they meet the criteria to be assimilated into the list.
If you are an author who wants a more detailed review of a story I've covered feel free to message me. My reviews tend to be fairly light, mostly just reactions to a story right after reading it. I am happy to give a more careful read and reply to anyone who wants more precision and/or feedback.
